(Pssssttttt… Hey don’t you know you’re not supposed to talk about that?)
The Gay Marriage debate has been raging in California for… well… it seems like forever. Let’s just agree it has been going on for a really long time.
Have you noticed “church people” going crazy about gay marriage?.
No matter how crazy “church people” are about gay marriage, I find it odd that I can’t locate anywhere in the Bible where Jesus goes out and lobbies any government(s) in an attempt to persuade that government to adopt His beliefs and morals. Jesus didn’t do that. As some would have liked Him to be, Jesus didn’t become a political figure. However, Jesus did affect many, many governments. Jesus chose to lead by example. He chose to lead by changing peoples lives… many peoples lives.
This makes me take pause and ask…
Is the church truly angry about gay marriage?, or is the church angry because it has not led by example. Is the church angry because it hasn’t changed very many lives?
Jesus was and is fierce in His beliefs and morals. He never said not to fight for what is right. He just taught us how to fight His way. He told us to love God with everything we have. He told us to love our neighbor as ourself.
Maybe if the church lived a life that more modeled the life of Jesus Christ, then the gay marriage issue, wouldn’t even be an issue.
My recommendation to “solve” this issue:
- Pray
- Stay Calm
- Listen to people who have differing views than yours
- Stay Calm
- Try to understand the differing views
- Stay Calm
- Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself
If you don’t like my recommendation, take up with the Big Guy. I borrowed it from Him.
